Tallin, Estonia

Want to get off the beaten path in Europe? I highly recommend Estonia. We only visited Tallin, the capital, but it was full of beauty, interest and surprises. Highlights included:

Beautiful old medieval town.
I recommend the walking tour that starts at 12:00
in front of the tourist information office.

Great microbrew scene.
And super inexpensive for local and imported beers!
We tried some great beers at Hell Hunt, Porgu and Hopner.

An up and coming local design scene.
Hit the Kalamaja district!
Tourist information has a great local map
that gives great recommendations in this area.

Few tourists.
Estonia is off the beaten tourist path,
so there are fewer people crowding the streets than in other European countries.
And prices were the lowest I've ever seen in all of Europe!
